Volunteering Recognition

This year our pupils were invited to take part in WE Day UK: a celebration to recognise the volunteering work undertaken by schools and children across the country. Mrs Nicholls took a group from school to see Richard Branson, Ellie Goulding... and Prince Harry! Following the amazing day out, our pupils were inspired to organise the WE Scare Hunger Day. It was a tremendous success. This was in addition to the volunteering our children do with the local pensioners group, the choir performances at sheltered housing associations, raising money for worthy causes and the jobs they complete within school.

At the end of a busy year it was so nice to receive some additional recognition of the children's hard work. Now we are looking forward to WE Day 2015!

Get Caught Reading - Alisha Relaxes!

What better way to unwind after a hectic academic year than reading whilst floating on a lilo? Armed with her sun hat, lotion and book, Alisha was fully prepared for a restful holiday in Spain. A great picture Alisha... well done for keeping the reading going during the holidays.

Get Caught Reading - Jack's At The Palace

After a busy day of sightseeing, Jack took five minutes to relax with his book outside Buckingham Palace. What a great place to read! Don't forget to share your photos with us - Miss Sparkes has plenty of book vouchers to give away to the winners of the competition.

Fact Hunters: Power, Shakespeare & eruptions

Did you know that today there are some 435 nuclear power reactors operating in 31 countries with a combined capacity of over 370 GWe – about 13.5% of the world's electricity.

The actual date of Shakespeare's birth is not known, but, traditionally, April 23, St George's Day, has been Shakespeare's accepted birthday.

Mt St Helen’s erupted in 1980 with amazing power! A vertical explosion occurred at the summit of the volcano, sending a mushroom cloud of ash and gases more than 12 miles into the air. The cloud of ash darkened the skies, causing streetlights to come on as far away as Spokane – more than 300 miles away.

EOY Awards - Excellent Effort

Congratulations to these pupils who were chosen for the Excellent Effort award 2014. In our pupil values we talk of how it is important to do your best in every lesson. These pupils always give their all and have been doing so since the start of the school year in September 2103.
